Today's
Trivia Question ~ In the 1969 animated TV classic "Frosty the Snowman", what was the name of the magician's (Professor Hinkle) rabbit?

Yesterday's Question ~ In the classic 1946 holiday movie "It's a Wonderful
Life", what book does Clarence, the Angel, carry with him?

Answer ~ The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.

Featured Shop - Immortally Yours

Immortally Yours
is run by Alura from Derby Line, Vermont. Her shop is filled with dark
and dreamy one-of-a-kind greeting cards for those who like something a
little different.

How did you choose your shop name?
"Immortally Yours came from
the fact that when my husband would give me a card, he would sign it
that way. Fangtastic Cards came from the fact that I adore vampires and
make vampire themed cards."

"There are people
out there who just cringe at the thought of getting a card from Hallmark
Those cards aren't as special as one that is hand made and shows a
labor of love. I want to attract people who like hand made cards as
well as those who are a little dark by nature."

What new designs/creations would you like to add to your shop in the future?
"Since
all of my items are OOAK, one of a kind, I generally make the cards on
a whim. I'm always adding new papers and embellishments to my
supplies!"

Combine dry ingredients, adding the butter
last and stir together. Mixture should be
crumbly.

Place apples into pie shell. Sprinkle with the flour mixture.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 30-
45 minutes. Remove pie and let cool a little.

Melt caramels in the microwave, adding a touch of
milk to help mixture become smooth and
creamy. Pour over pie and allow it to cool
completely. (Hot caramel can burn the mouth
so let it cool, no matter how anxious you are to
try it!!) Enjoy!!
